Ok, hear me out. So we've been told that practices are at a much quicker pace this fall than in previous years. The reason? To make practices more efficient. We are using state of the art technology in order to monitor our players' health and progress during practice. Coaches have said that they are trimming down the playbook. Why? To be better at our core plays and yet another attempt at being efficient. Call me crazy, but the 2014 Nebraska offense might resemble more of an Oregon/Auburn offense than many of us are expecting. I think the coaching staff did their homework this offseason. I think they got ideas from around the country and are trying things out in camp. We all know the QB situation by now. Tommy is the frontrunner, but isn't that far ahead of Fyfe and Stanton as of yet. Maybe we are attempting to curb our inexperienced QB by using a consistant, superfast tempo that will work heavily against the defense. The players have said that they like the new tempo at practice and many have said they like the quicker style we sometimes get into. I'm definitely not a football genius, but is it possible that Oregon likes to go at the pace they do because it helps mask their weaknesses? By going full throttle inbetween plays and really wearing down the defense, wouldn't it help make the QBs job easier? I think by shrinking the playbook and installing a quicker tempo at practices, our coaches may be giving us a small glipse of what their stategy is going into this fall. I think we may be planning to model our offense a little more like Oregon or Auburn in order for our turnover prone offense to find a comfortable rhythm. Does anyone else think this is possible?
